8. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9. Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10. Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11. For their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause with thee.
12. Apply thy heart to instruction, and thy ears to the words of knowledge.
13. Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15. My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16. Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17. Let not thy heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18. For surely there is an end; and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
19. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart in the way.
20. Be not among wine-bibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21. For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22. Hearken to thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23. Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24. The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bore thee shall rejoice.
26. My son, give me thy heart, and let thy eyes observe my ways.
